Relative to the requirements for obtaining licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill updates certain requirements for obtaining liquor licenses by allowing lawful permanent residents, in addition to citizens, to meet these qualifications. Specifically, it amends Chapter 138 of the General Laws, which governs alcoholic beverages, to include "lawful permanent resident" alongside "citizen" in various sections related to licensing requirements for individuals, managers, principal representatives, directors, and members of businesses seeking liquor licenses. In some instances, the bill also modifies requirements to state that a "majority" of individuals must meet these residency or citizenship criteria, rather than requiring all of them to be citizens.
